Tax lien and tax deed investing, just like many other types of investing, follows cycles. These cycles are a result of the fact that most counties only conduct tax sales once per year. What really drives the cycles or "seasons" of tax lien investing are the online tax sales. Some would be investors are under the assumption (thanks to unscrupulous wealth building "gurus" who suggest that you can invest online anywhere in the country) that you can purchase tax liens online in most states. The fact is that there are only a handful of states that have online tax sales and out of these only three have more than 2 counties that conduct regular online tax sales at this time.
These three states conduct their sales at different times during the year. The Arizona online tax lien sales take place from February through March, The Florida online tax lien sales are held in May through June and the Colorado online tax lien sales are spread out from September through November. Hence the seasons for the online tax sales are winter, spring and fall, with a month or two in-between.
